INTRODUCTORY 


The  Hotel  McAlpin,  situated  at  the  in- 
tersection of  Broadway  and  Thirty-fourth 
Street,  is  located  in  the  very  heart  of  New 
York,  and  stands  as  the  absolute  axis  of 
the  city  s  transportation  system.  It  faces 
the  great  Pennsylvania  Terminal  station, 
the  elevated  railway  and  surface  cars  are  at 
the  door,  and  the  subway,  other  terminals 
and  steamship  lines  are  withm  easy  access. 
The  finest  shops,  theaters  and  the  opera  are 
within  a  short  walk,  and  the  hotel  is  a 
veritable  hub,  around  which  revolve  the  life 
and  action  of  the  great  metropolis. 

The  hotel  is  twenty-six  stories  m  height, 
and  in  its  construction  is  absolutely  fire- 
proof. That  this  is  recognized  by  insurance 
companies  is  demonstrated  by  the  fact  that 
no  hotel  m  New  York  receives  insurance  at 
so  low  a  rate. 

Every  one  of  its  fifteen  hundred  guest  rooms 
is  an  outside  room,  and  all  of  them  com- 
municate with  bath.  The  most  improved 
methods  of  steam  heating,  lighting  and  venti- 
lation have  been  employed.  Desk  telephones, 
supplemented  with  telautograph  service  at 
the  switchboard,  are  installed  throughout. 

In  the  decoration  and  furnishing  of  the  rooms, 
there  is  infinite  variety — luxurious  suites 
from  $5.00  the  day  upward,  to  single  rooms 
with  running  wa,ter  and  privilege  of  the  bath 
at  as  low  a  figure  as  $1.50  the  day.

No  detail  which  will  contribute  to  the 
comfort,  convenience  and  pleasure  of  guests 
has  heen  overlooked.  The  elegance  of 
appointments  and  perfection  of  service  main- 
tained commend  the  McAlpm  to  those 
desiring  permanent  residence  m  an  hotel  and 
to  travellers  who  appreciate  a  homelike 
atmosphere.  ^Vith  nearly  two  thousand 
servants  employed,  the  McAlpin  off  ers  as 
nearly  individual  service  as  it  is  possible 
to  obtain  in  an  Wei.

Grill 
Room 


The  McAlpin  Grill,  with  its  vaulted  spaces 
and  arched  recesses,  suggests  somewhat  the 
style  of  the  Spanish  Renaissance,  and  its 
treatment    of    beautifully  colored,  glazed 
terra-cotta   tiles,  with  superh  decorative 
Is,  has  made  it    really  unique  and 
one  of  New  York's  most  talked  about 
novelties.     The  excellence  of  the  cuisine  is 
unchallenged.     The  choicest  food  products, 
kilfully  prepared  under  absolutely  sanitary 
conditions,  combined  with  careful,  courteous 
and  intelligent  service,  have  already  given 
the  McAlpin  restaurants  a  remarkable 
prestige.

Individuality  is  the  keynote  of  the 
McAlpin  cuisine  and  besides  carrying  out 
the  test  practise  of  tlie  recognized  French  leaders 
of  the  culinary  art,  many  new  dishes  are 
being  constantly  created  by  the  McAlpin 
chefs  to  please  the  palates  of  a  cosmopol- 
itan clientele.  The  Louis  XVI  restaurant, 
with  its  exquisite  decorations,  waving 
palms  and  music  by  Nahan  Franko  and  his 
orchestra,  is  probably  the  most  artistical- 
ly beautiful  dining-room  in  America.

A  beautiful  Ladies'  Restau- 
rant or  Cafe  with  exquisite 
appointments,  is  a  notable  feature  of  the 
hotel.     As  a  rendezvous  for  luncheon 
on  a  busy  day  of  stopping,  it  is  appre- 
ciated by   all  wbo  have   come  to 
know  its  seclusion,  quiet 
and  the  convenience  of 
its  central  location,  near 
tbe  principal  shops. 


INFORMATION 


The  McAlpin  aims  particularly  to  serve  the 
stranger  m  New  York  and  every  facility  of 
the  hotel  is  at  his  disposal.  The  careful 
attention  paid  to  his  wants  makes  him 
feel  that  here  he  has  come  among  friends 
who  have  a  personal  interest  in  his  happiness 
and  well-being.  Those  unfamiliar  with  the 
language  and  customs  will  especially  appre- 
ciate a  Bureau  of  Information  where 
courteous  and  well-informed  attendants  are 
always  to  he  found.  Folders  of  all  railway 
and  steamship  lines  m  Europe  and  America 
together  with  guide-hooks,  directories  and 
literature  of  travel  may  he  had  for  the  asking. 

A  representative  of  the  hotel,  known  to 
officers  of  transatlantic  steamers,  is  on 
the  dock  and  at  the  service  of  all  those 
arriving  or  departing  hy  the  principal  vessels; 
also  McAlpin  porters  m  uniform  who  will 
attend  to  transferring  luggage.  Reservations 
for  rooms  may  he  made  by  wireless  telegraph 
at  our  expense.  No  service  is  too  trivial 
to  perform,  no  trouble  too  great  to  take 
that  will  assure  the  comfort  and  convenience 
of  our  patrons. 

Unfamilianty  with  the  currency  of  a 
country  often  exposes  the  stranger  to  em- 
barrassment and  loss.  This  is  obviated  at 
the  McAlpin,  which  has  made  special  pro- 
vision for  the  protection  of  foreigners  by  the 
establishment  of  a  department  for  the  ex- 
change of  foreign  money  in  the  hotel,  where 
exchange  at  current  rates  may  be  arranged 
at  their  convenience.
